God loves me....

Did you know that?... Well, He shows me all the time, I just don't tell everyone about everything. Here's two ways in which He has shown me more and more that He is God and He is love.


Last Saturday, I was driving home from the twins parents (not the Clardy's) at 2:15 a.m. I was a little nervous since the bars get out at 2, but what could I do? So, I proceded to take the 202W home. Normally, I take it to the I10 and get off at Elliot. Yet, when I was driving on the 202, (I think I was around Mesa Dr. at this point), I pictured in my head me exiting the I10 on Elliott and getting in the right lane so I could turn. Well, right when I started turning, I got hit from behind. I tried to shake it out of my head and continue on. Then, about 30 seconds later, I tried picturing me making the turn heading home again, but yet, I pictured my car getting hit again. I kept trying to tell myself that it wouldn't happen and I tried to shake it off. By this time, I'm starting to see the exit for the 101N on the freeway signs. I now have a decision to make. Do I take the 101 home? When I pictured myself turning left from the 101, everything was fine. Finally, I decided that it wasn't worth finding out if it was God or not that was giving me that vision, that I just needed to be cautious and assume it was Him. Well, I took the 101 home, and I was fine. I now say that God saved my life out of His love for me, and He prevented me from being in an accident. It's something I'll never know for sure though...


On April 1st, I got in an accident leaving the Hoover's for Jessica's bridal shower. The lady tried to get behind me, but she ended up side-swiping the entire left side of my car. My hip and butt were sore for a couple of days, but that was it. My car however, is still in the shop. I should get it out today, which will be the 25th day, but that's only if AFI brings the wiring harness to the body shop today. See, they have already put $5200 into the car, and the wiring harness would have been another $1500. Well, they wanted to find one for cheaper, so my car has been in the shop for a week just sitting there...I hope they saved over $150 because they have spent that much on a rental car in that time. Anyway, the accident ended out being a huge blessing in two different ways. 1. I had a dent on my car there before, but it's getting fixed for free because she hit the same spot and then some. (There will still be the dent on the right side.) 2. I get $500 for my aches and pains. Now, this was a trial in and of itself. See, last Friday I still didn't have it. Tomorrow is my traffic driving school for the ticket I got in Feb., and Sunday, my Camp Barnabas money is due. I called last Friday and it was in the office. She said that she would put my check in the mail on Monday. Well, it didn't come on Wed. Yesterday, when I got home, I prayed. "Lord, PLEASE let the check be in the mail today. I know that You like to wait until the last minute to provide... This is the last minute. Please Lord, let it be in there. " Well, it was. Now, I can pay for traffic driving school, Camp Barnabas, give a little to DD for Africa, and have some left over. God is so good. How does He do it? Well, He's God, so only He can.
